If we were to switch lives for 24 hours, this is the minimum you would need to know to be me:
(Here I'm going to assume it's a weekday, because, really, if I'm going to skip out on being me for a day, it's going to be a work day. Trust me.)
Get up when the alarm goes off, at 6. Or lay there and hit the snooze button for 20-30 minutes, like I do. You now have about 10 minutes to get out the door. You must:
1) get dressed (this is rather non-negotiable) - make-up and brushing hair is optional
2) take the dog out (another non-negotiable)
3) check blog/FB/e-mail (if you have time)
At work, just try to look busy. There are only 3 things you need to know to be an engineer:
1) e=mc^2
2) water runs downhill
3) you can't push a rope
Drive home, and:
1) walk the dog, which will happen in weather from -10*F to 110*F, unless there's a thunderstorm, in which case she will hunker down and refuse to move, try to pull her out at your own risk, she'll bite... come to think of it, really she'll probably have bitten you by now if you just showed up and tried to be me...
2) make dinner/run through drive-through/go out to eat
3) Monday or Thursday, bellydance class, Friday, ballroom dancing, Tuesday or Wednesday, whatever you feel like.
At night:
1) clean for 3 hours (hey, if you're taking my place I'm going to get something out of it! I mean... that's what I always do, of course!)
2) take a shower
3) go to bed - by 10 pm! (hahahahahahahaha! *snort* Oh, I slay me...)
I have very few routines, so you should be able to fake it for a day. More than one day, though, and we'd have to get into things like my day-to-day crane folding, craft projects, and all the little idiosyncrasies that makeliving with me a pain in the ass me who I am. ;)
